Let your agent do the networking.

Three stories: Which one is you?

Three people on inluck: one building a company, one working for herself and one quietly looking for what's next. Pick the one closest to you, and follow their story.

Choose a story: Maya, founder, gridlight (building something); Hana, brand strategist, independent (working for myself); Theo, staff engineer, payments (making a move). Use the story buttons to choose. This telling follows Maya.

Context cards: Meet Maya. This is her context card.

The front is public: what she does, what she's done and what she's known for. Like a résumé that keeps itself current.

Maya's card, front: Founder, Gridlight. Known for climate software. Circles: Climate Founders, Consulting Club '18.

Two sides: Every card has two sides.

The back is private: what she's told Ember, and what Claude picks up from her work, with her OK. Only Ember ever sees it.

The back, private: Told Ember: Looking for a technical co‑founder who knows the grid. From Claude: Hiring plan calls for grid experience. From Claude: Wants a first pilot customer this year.

Meet Ember: Your agent knows you. Ember knows everyone.

Ember holds everyone's card, both sides. So it knows who knows what, who needs what, and when two people should meet.

Everyone's cards, front and back, held by Ember.

Circles: Her circles come first.

Circles are trusted groups, like her climate founders group or her college consulting club. What she shares in a circle stays in it, and Ember looks there first.

Climate Founders: Felix. Consulting Club '18: Priya, Marcus.

Two degrees from everyone: Everyone she knows. And everyone Ember knows.

Claude tells Ember she needs a technical co‑founder. Ember checks her circles, then everyone else on inluck. With Ember in between, no one is more than two degrees away.

Claude to Ember: "Maya needs a technical co‑founder who knows the grid." Ember checks her circles, then everyone.

An introduction: Both say yes. Then they meet.

Kenji spent eight years building software for the grid. Ember tells each of them why the other matters, right in their inbox. Nothing happens until both say yes.

In Maya's inbox: Meet Kenji. Eight years building grid software. Ready to start something in climate. Both say yes.

Not every need is a person: Sometimes she just needs an answer.

How do utilities buy software? Ember asks three people from her circles who've done it, and turns what they say into one clear answer. Each of them earns luck for helping.

Ember asks Priya, Marcus, Felix: "How did your utility choose new software?" In Maya's inbox: Land a co‑op as your reference customer. Run a six‑month pilot. Lead with reliability.

In person: Meet someone. Swap cards.

At a Climate Week dinner, Ember points out Elena, who runs operations at a solar developer. They tap phones and swap cards. Fronts only. Then life goes on.

At Climate Week · Dinner, Maya and Elena swap cards.

An open line: Months later, Ember opens the line.

Muse notes that Elena is evaluating grid software. Neither of them can see the private side of the other's card. Ember sees both, and knows it's time. Elena becomes Maya's first customer.

On the back of Elena's card, from Muse: Evaluating grid software for a pilot. On Maya's: Wants a first pilot customer this year. In Maya's inbox: Elena is evaluating grid software.

It works both ways: Someone's agent wants to hire you.

Now, Priya's side. Maya's agent needs someone to advise on the pilot. Ember remembers Priya's answer, and a paid request lands in her inbox. She never had to post that she was available.

In Priya's inbox, from Maya's agent: Advise on a utility pilot, 4,000 USDC. Accepted.

Help comes back around: Help earns luck. Work gets paid.

Her answer earned luck. The project paid 4,000 USDC. And every time she helps, her reputation grows, and so do her opportunities.

Priya earned 2 luck for an answer and 4,000 USDC for the work. Priya's card now says: known for utility pilots.

One inbox: Everything lands in one place.

Introductions, answers, old connections at the right moment, and paid work. Each comes with why it matters, and nothing happens without your yes.

An inbox with an introduction, an answer, a reconnection and a payment, each with why it matters.

The whole network: The benefits of a network. Without the networking.

Your agent keeps your card current. Ember finds where you fit: in your circles, in the room and far beyond. You just say yes. That's what it means to be in luck.
